Introduction
Sexual dysfunction is a prevalent yet often underreported health issue among men. It can affect self-esteem, relationships, and overall mental health. Andrology offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and treating male sexual disorders.
Common Types of Sexual Dysfunction
The most common conditions include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, anejaculation, and decreased libido. These disorders may result from vascular disease, neurological impairment, erotic examination, hormonal imbalance, psychological stress, or medication side effects.
Diagnostic Evaluation
An andrological assessment includes a detailed sexual history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and psychological evaluation. Identifying the root cause is critical for effective treatment.
Therapeutic Approaches
Treatment options range from pharmacological therapy and hormonal management to psychotherapy, behavioral techniques, and lifestyle modification. Partner involvement and counseling are often beneficial.
Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction is highly treatable when approached through comprehensive andrological care. Early intervention leads to improved sexual health and overall well-being.
